What are you expecting from 2016?

>Zen = Haswell. It'll only be slightly cheaper than Intel's offerings because AMD has a huge amount of debt to pay off.
>Pascal, GCN 2.0 are incremental improvements
>Cherry Trail tablets/transformers will eat the laptop market
>ChromeOS market share will stagnate
>Smartphone market will change drastically; people will notice how good $250 phones are now and won't be willing to pay $600

The half-decayed walking corpse of AMD finally goes bankrupt.

Both coming through

>huge amount of debt to pay off.
Realistically speaking, they aren't in that much depth.
2 good quarters and half their debt is gone.
2 exceptional quarters and their debt is gone.
>>51810031
more diminishing returns
more boring macbook wannabe shitboxes
more useless meme technology

Phones with a X86_64 Goldmont Atom processors. Hopefully with a simple and easy method to run Windows 7 on it too.
>>51810031
>microsoft pushed an update to windows 10, disabling the ability to install programs from manually downloaded .exes for security reasons. programs... no wait, APPS, can only be installed through microsoft's own store.

BLCK over-clocking non- K Skylake Processors, then intel getting butthurt and forcing out updates to kill it off
>>51810031
>2016
>zen
it literally was slated for Q4 2016 and they haven't even started binning so don't expect it till 2017
>>51810285
Yay monopoly
>>51810461
A monopoly wouldn't exist and never will.
There are laws in place to break up companies or force them to support others if it gets to that point.
>>51810031
Apple refreshes all of their Mac line shit with Skylake CPUs and Thunderbolt 3
MacBook Pro 15 gets 32GB RAM option
>>51810438
Zen was set for Q2 2016, to be timed with the Arctic Islands release.
/g/ was all ablaze not even weeks ago at how there were Rumors that Zen had been taped out some months ago, and had met all expectations.
all we need is for the next rumor mill to spill out something saying that Zen won't come until 2020, and /g/ will eat it up like the word of god.
>>51810112
What can brown(people) do for you?
>>51810031
definitely new MBP, just because ill buy one next week.
Eventually, tablet/laptop shit will be more popular, surface etc, new gayphone that will outsell last year model, some shit "invented" by apple that is in use for 5 years.
Interesting will be seeing nokia on android market, and also, new android versions.
Linux would stagnate, desktop PC together with it.
Also, 4k would be further implemented into consumers mind, so i except more 4k phones(new gayphone?), but as usual, no removable battery and no SDcard slot.
>THINKPADS WOULD BE ONE YEAR OLDER, SO CHEPER, BUT MORE OBSOLETE
/g/ would continue to shitpost about install gentoo, how macbooks are shit and now decade old thinkpads are best stuff happened to man kind since inventing the wheel.
>>51810436
I thought this was a thing already but you only got 300MHzish out of it before it became horrifically unstable
>>51810392
This but also stylus input like what the note 4 has.
>>51810534
That's literally false.
It's been stated multiple times it was Q4 2016 and the CEO even stated they didn't tape out yet.
>>51810579
>thinkpads are best stuff happened to man kind since inventing the wheel.
They're still the go-to for 90% of companies looking to hand out company laptops.
They're rugged, easy for IT to work on, and can be locked to a dock for security, or have a slice battery added to it.
And they actually look somewhat professional as opposed to "Oooo Shiney!"
And they're cheap to buy in bulk with reasonable power behind them.
Can't blame anyone, they're a sensible purchase so long as you don't get ripped out by markup.

CFO*
>>51810600
>>>51810285
yep, but that still means 4+GHz on an i3, not bad for a <$200 processor with 4 threads too
>>51810624
If by
>the CEO even stated they didn't tape out yet.
you're referring to the recent interview that started this shitposting mess
Then it was their Chief Financial Officer who was questioned.
Lisa Su has said nothing.
>>51810645
>with 4 threads too
Of which two are from hyperthreading providing at most 40% of the performance of a real core.
>>51810660
What kind of CFO would just go and blatantly lie to people in a negative manner when the company is already losing and at risk?
>>51810687
just liek to look on the positive side, you could always pick up a cheap i5. Thing is I bet Intel, in 2016, find a way to shit all over it.
AssRock will be releasing a motherboard update soon though
Pokemon Go
>>51810717
One who was possibly never questioned at all, and this is all just a very well put-together ruse.
>>51810031
3D xpoint boot drives
3D NAND sata mass storage drives
32GB DDR4 mainstream prices
ZEN will bring high end desktop CPU prices down
Pascal will be shit but gameworks will make it so AMD loses
HBM2 will be amazing for high rez
Nintendo NX will be shit
Intel Goldmont will actually be out and be awesome for cheap nucs and tablets
4k will become cheap enough for mainstreams
Good freesync monitors will finally be out
Apple reaches its climax and start the slow decline
Windows 10 will auto install on any pc connect to the internet.
>>51810050
I wish for more than 7 mbit
>>51810735
>Thing is I bet Intel, in 2016, find a way to shit all over it.
They'll do the same thing that they did when Asrock made it possible to overclock on non z chipsets; They'll tell Asrock to stop allowing overclocking or stop making Intel motherboards. It's that simple.
Asrock are probably well aware of this and are just looking for free publicity as the good guys.

Hahahahaha, welcome to 2016, wizard!!!
>>51810585
>>51810525
I don't get why the MBPs have so little ram where they can handle much more.
broadwell can support 16 gigs per dimm, and skylake supports either 32 or 64.

>There are laws in place to break up companies or force them to support others if it gets to that point.
Then explain the case of Microsoft. Huge near-monopoly and supporting others isn't exactly their thing. Never mind the fact that they got a mere slap on the wrist for a huge lawsuit concerning this 16-17 years ago.
>>51810745
I, for one, am happy for reskinned Ingress.
>>51810392
they should have saved saltwell name for when they finish raping ARM
I'm expecting quite a bit from the storage sector.
>3DXpoint gets rolled out and we'll see SSD hybrids, kinda like we first saw SSD/HDD monstrosities.
>Rise of the NVMe SSDs, the speeds are going to explode all around the place.
>Prices of storage comes down faster than anyone aticipated, due to tons of new competition entering the game, especially from Asia.
Sizes are going to stay relatively small though, I don't think we'll see 6TB SSD until the end of the next year.
>Windows 10 forced everywhere.
>Europe gets an additional 2 million refugees and more sensible countries finally start losing their shit and close their borders.
>HP makes tons of progress with Memristor and is going to be ready to roll it out 2017.
>4k monitor prices drop like a rock.
>Desktops and laptops will be able to use the same GPU, higher end laptops wont be seeing mobile chips anymore.
>No great advances on the CPU front, AMD just gets nearer to Jewtel and brings down the prices.
>New retarded gimmicks in TV,phone and monitor tech, say hello to the first 10K ULTRAMEGA RESOLUTION!!! in the new Samsung phone.

epic GPU
reminds me of the GTS 150
which is literally the worst GPU in the entire history of computer graphics
funny how nvidia managed to sweep that controversy under the rug
it was literally the worst shit in history
and wikipedia says the GTS 150 was OEM
this is not true, it had a limited retail release, cost a shit load of money, and ran like ass
>>51810050
I wish for more than 1.5 mbit here in 1st world 'merica

>g-sync getting cheaper
